Lyrics

[Verse 1]

No one knows how much I love you

No one knows how much I care

When you put your arms around me

I get a fever that's a-hard to bear

[Chorus]

You give me fever

When you kiss me

Fever when you hold me tight

Fever in the morning

Fever all through the night

[Instrumental]

Sun lights up the daytime

Moon lights up the night

I light up when you call my name

'Cause I know you're gonna treat me right

[Chorus]

You give me fever

When you kiss me

Fever when you hold me tight

Fever in the morning

Fever all through the night

[Instrumental]

Captain Smith and Pocahontas

Had a very bad affair

A-when her daddy tried to kill him

She said, "Daddy-o, don't you dare"

[Chorus]

"He gives me fever

When he kisses

Fever when he holds me tight

Fever, I'm his missus

So Daddy-o, treat him right"

[Bridge]

Everybody's got the fever

That is something we all know

Fever isn't such a new thing

Fever started long ago

[Instrumental]

Romeo loves Juliet

Juliet, she felt the same

A-when she put her arms around him

He said, "Julie, baby, you're to blame"

[Chorus]

"You give me fever

With your kisses

Fever when you hold me tight

Fever in the morning

Fever all through the night"

[Instrumental]

Well, now you've listened to my story

Here's the point that I have made

The Cramps are born to give you fever

Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade

[Chorus]

We give you fever

When you're rocking

Fever 'til you live and learn

Fever 'til you sizzle

But what a lovely way to burn

[Outro]

What a lovely way to burn

What a lovely way to burn

What a lovely way to burn

What a lovely way to burn

What a lovely way to burn
